    How does a jewel thief know which string of pearls are worth stealing?

    Question #121270. Asked by star_gazer. (Apr 30 11 12:23 AM)

    		It's all in the teeth, fake pearls and real pearls feel different when slid across the teeth......The same with restored porcelain/china you can feel the restoration with your teeth even though you can't see the 'mend'..

    		Correct!

    This site recomends a number of tests for pearls. One of them is drilling a hole in the pearl; I wouldn't suggest that.

    		Of course, in practical terms, you just steal what you can get away with at the time, and then sort out the saleable items later....
